Our agricultural roots run deep! Port Hope is real farm-to-table country where restaurants partner with area producers for natural, whole foods and amazing flavours.
Come shake hands with a farmer
Get your boots on and start the car! Take a farm tour with our Fresh Food Guide Tour map and meet our hardworking farmers. Bring a cooler to stock up on fresh eggs, trout and grass-fed beef, and in-season berries and vegetables. You can also follow the Barn Quilt Trail to see the stylized art tile quilts that tell the stories of longstanding barns.
Taste our fresh-picked goodness and feed the chickens
Local food means much more than a way to fill your belly. It's really about building community and supporting the local economy. And it's about knowing where your food comes from and the farmer who put their time and care into delivering wholesome products.
Visit our historic Farmers Market for great food and home baking, where pie is delicious for breakfast! Get hands-on with the animals, chores and DIY berry picking at one of our Farm Experiences. We've got your next gourmet food truck fix covered, as well as certified Feast Ontario restaurants using the freshest local ingredients around, straight from the fields. Come eat!
